Price: $14.95 for 8oz
Claims: Too Shea is the kind of conditioner that people write poems about. No,
really, someone actually did that a few years ago. THAT is how much
people love this stuff. I can’t say I blame them – I use it every day
and actually have nightmares about forgetting it when I go on a trip. It
has shea butter (hence the adorable name), jojoba oil, avocado oil and
tons of lovely herbs and spices that are all great for hair and scalp.
Together they combine to make a thick, moisturizing conditioner that
isn’t too heavy and not at all greasy. It makes your curls so soft
you’ll have a hard time keeping your hands out of them. (But do try –
touching your curls too much is a no-no)
Directions: Apply to wet hair, comb through and rinse after 3-5 minutes. Follow with
your favorite Jessicurl styling products. Too Shea can also be left in
for all day moisture on dry curls or used as a deep conditioner for
finer hair that gets weighed down easily.

I used this product after washing my hair with the cleansing cream. This conditioner immediately softened my hair up, and it provided nice slip as well for finger detangling in the shower.
I detangled my hair with ease and twisted up my hair with the conditioner the night before. The next day, I had a stunning, defined, soft, and moisturized twist-out!
Confident Coils Styling Solution
Price: $14.95 for 8oz
Claims: Confident Coils is one of my favorite products, largely due to how
it came to be. Jessicurl fans all over told me loud and clear that they
loved the curl enhancement provided by Rockin’ Ringlets Styling Potion
but that they needed something with more hold to go with it. So in
2004, after months and months of testing with my very eager customer
testing group, Confident Coils finally hit the market. It was even named
by a Jessicurl customer through our Name That Product contest. This
product truly was a group effort and as a result, it works for a variety
of curl types and patterns.
It’s a creamy styling product with a
consistency thin enough to make it easy to distribute through even the
tightest, kinkiest curls. It creates amazing definition and provides
excellent humidity protection. By itself it’s not super curl enhancing,
which makes it great for tighter curl patterns looking to elongate
rather than enhance curls. For those with looser curls, using it with
Rockin’ Ringlets will give you all the bounce, definition and frizz
control you need.
Directions: Use Confident Coils with Jessicurl Rockin’ Ringlets or Gelebration Spray
for extra curl enhancement or alone to give tighter curls definition
and hold. Distribute evenly through soaking wet hair and scrunch to
encourage curls or finger-comb to elongate. Air dry or dry with a
diffuser. This stuff is pretty concentrated, so less is more. If your
hair is fine and gets weighed down easily, use a very small amount at
first and increase from there if you need more hold. Check out my
product demo videos in the Curly Care Center to see Confident Coils in action.
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, VP/VA Copolymer, Polyimide-1,
C 12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Polysorbate 60;
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium
Chloride, Dehydroxanthan Gum, Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt),
Diazolidinyl Urea (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
Consistency: Thin/Liquid
Scent: Light, sweet smell.
I wanted nice hold and minimal frizz when styling my hair, so I first used the Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner for moisture, then used this product on top for hold.
These two products in conjunction gave my
most recent style excellent hold, shine, and moisture! Although this product is very thin, my twist-out was not only soft and moisturized, but had superior hold! My rolling twists were also smooth, shiny, and held up very well. My hair was not one bit frizzy!
Deep Conditioning Treatment
Price: $16.95 for 8oz
Claims: It seems that every time I meet a Jessicurl customer, the most common
thing they say to me is “I LOVE your Deep Conditioner!” They say it with
a sincerity usually reserved for, oh, I don’t know, favorite ice cream
flavors or designer shoes. I can tell how much they really mean it. And
why shouldn’t they? It is INSANE how moisturizing this conditioner is.
It used to be called “Weekly Deep Conditioning Treatment” but then I
heard from more and more curlies that they were using it every day, and
some were even using it as a leave in. Who am I to limit how much you
use your favorite conditioner, right? Thus, I dropped “Weekly” and just
left it at Deep Conditioning Treatment. It’s thick, it’s rich, it’s
moisturizing, it doesn’t build up – it really is the ideal formula for
restoring moisture to dry curly hair. It also works great as a shaving
cream – that even includes bald men! :)
Directions: Apply to clean, wet hair, comb through and let it settle in for 30-60
minutes. For even more intense conditioning, use with heat, such as the
Hair Therapy Wrap. Rinse and style as usual. This can be used daily or
as a leave-in conditioner for thicker, drier curl types.
Ingredients:
Water (Aqua) infused with Equisetum Maximum Lam (Horsetail), Mentha
Piperita (Peppermint), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary), Laurus Nobilis
(Bay Leaf), Ocimum Basilicum (Basil), Arctium Lappa (Burdock Root),
Althaea Officinalis (Marshmallow Root), Origanum Vulgare (Oregano),
Cymbopogon Flexuosus (Lemongrass), Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme), Salvia
Officinalis (Sage) and Urtica Dioica (Nettle); Behentrimonium
Methosulfate (and) Cetearyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice,
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil,
Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Soy Lecithin, Diazolidinyl Urea
(and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate
Consistency: Medium/Thick
Scent: Light, sweet smell.
This product is thicker than the conditioner, and it was just perfect for deep conditioning my hair right before I
straightened it.
This product made my hair
ultra soft and kept it super moisturized while it was straight! When I
straightened my hair over a week ago, I did not experience any dryness while it was straight. I imagine that this would make a great leave-in/daily moisturizer. I'll have to update you all on how it works as such!
These products all get a 5 out of 5 from me! They worked amazingly to cleanse, condition, moisturize, and style my hair.
